the OREGON STATESMAN, galea, Orego. Wednesday Morning, April , MHR TEW Proposed Onions Acreage Found Far too Great in United States This Year ,o'nn OPERATORS ON IITHOUS , -II Reactionary Trend Noted in Stock Prices Through out Tuesday NEW YORK. April S (AP) The stock market leaned rather decidedly toward reaction today, professional operators for the ad vance manager to regain control of the price morement for a time around mid-day, but were soon discouraged by the steady influx of Belling orders. The market sold off rapidly in the last hour but rebounded here and there as snorts eoTered in the final few minutes tf trading. The majority of the more active shares ended the session 3 to 5 points lower. The selling was orderly but per sistent. Unlike recent setbacks, today's reaction could not be at tributed to bear attacks abetted by a late ticker. Trading was in comparatively moderate volume, and the ticker kept well up with prices on the floor. Total sales ag gregated 4,689,410 shares, one of the smallest turnovers for a full session In nearlv two weeks of heavy trading. The price inde of 90 representative stocks lost about 1 points. News for Day Not Particularly Good The day s business news was for the most part not particularly favorable, but the market appear ed to be governed primarily hy a growing conviction among traders that a top-heavy position had been reached during the violent pool activity of the past several days, amd that a technical correction wm overdue. News regarding the oils was distinctly favorable. In eluding a further reduction In crude output, and advances in gas oline prices In the eastern states. but profit taking was about as heavy In this group as elsewhere. Reports from the steel trade somewhat less cheerful. It was predicted that U. S. Steel's unflil ed tonnage statement on Thursday will stfow a substantial decline. and preliminary reports Indicated that last week's rate of mill op- I erations is not being maintained Big Rte Experienced By Radio Keith Radio Keith was again hurled upward in heavy buying, reaching new high ground for 1930 at 44- 3-8, op' about four points, and within 2 points of Its record price reached before the autumn crash. J. I. Case was a ppectacu lar feature, rushing up 17 points . to 290. Bulls also made some progress in the motors. General Motors reaching a 1930 high at 52 U. but then losing most of its gain. American Can. Corn Pro ducts, United Carbon, and U. S. Fipe and Foundry were among shares rising two points or more to high ground for the year, but losing some of their gains in the late trading. United Aircraft was sid np C points to 99, a top price for the year, but this attracted heavy short selling, and the stock closed at 4. Stone and Web ster broke 4 for the top. W. S. Snyder and Son of Kenton. Ohio. large scale pro ducers of commercial onions, have recently completed a sur vey of the onion market situation in the United States. Ac cording to their findings the onion acreage now contemplated, i if planted, will spell a disastrous year to all concerned and recommends a drastic cut in acreage as a vital necessity. Following is an excerpt from this report, made to the Chi cago Packer, trade paper of that district. "The information below is based on statistics gatnered from reliable sources through the Tabb Onion Service in the late onion producing states as to the Intended acreage for 1930 with comparisons covering four previous years: State Aereage Aereags Acreage acreage mienaea Late: 192C California (north, central) f,00 Colorado 1.700 Idahol 160 Illinois (70 Indiana S.440 Iowa (late) v. . 1.C00 Massachusetts ........ 4,420 Michigan 1,370 Minnesota 1,870 New York 7,580 Ohio I.SOO Oregon 1,130 Pennsylvania - 180 Utah 800 Wisconsin - 1,200 Washington (late) 1,100 DALLAS CHAMBER TO SELL STAMPS DALLA8, April 8. Members of the Dallas chamber of commerce will take over the responsibility of selling the poster stamps In the advertising Oregon campaign be ing pat on by the state chamber of commerce. This was decided upon at a dinner meeting for the members held at the Gail Hotel, Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock. A committee to work out the quo ta wUl meet with Arthur Foster, Wednesday morning, of which Eu gene Hayter is chairman, and W. L. Soehren and N. L. Guy the oth er members. Members who volun teered to help with the sale are W. C. Retxer, E. J. Page, R. R. Impler, Tracy Savery and E. J. Hlmes. Directors of the chamber of commerce will also assist in the sale. The opportunity of sending samples ot Polk county products and literature back to Toronto in June when the Shrine convention will be held there was brought np, and it was left In the hands of the advertising committee to work out some method ot distributing prunes and perhaps walnuts. R. 8. Kreaaon. A. B. Starbuck, and E. K. Plasecki are members of the- advertising committee. Total 48,310 Few shippers and practically no growers made any money the put year and the intended acreage for 1930 is Just about the same as last year. You will note that pe only state willing to meet this condi tion is Ohio. You cannot over produce in any commodity and make money, and no other com modity is so susceptible to the ill effects of over-production as on ions, due to their perishable na ture and the limited time we have In wiii'.-h to market the crop. If we plant the acreage of on ions in this country contemplated at this time, even conceding that additional tariff is granted, our over-production will so far over balance the effects of a tariff on importations that any possible benefit of a tariff will not only be lost, but our industry will be in even worse shape than it is at the present time. This company has grown in a single year as high as 1,200 acres. This year our acreage will be less than 500 acres, 300 acres under last year. Ohio growers already have sig nified their willingness and Inten tion of cutting their acreage over 20 per cent. We feel that it is imperative that every other onion producing state follow the lead taken by Ohio. This important proposition of making the neces sary reduction is backed by the National Onion association, and has been advocated time and again by the department of agri culture at Washington, as the only means ot putting the onion industry on a sound basis. Even though at this date the individual grower has arranged for his seed and fertilizer for his contemplated acreage, the success or failure of the 1930 onion seo son depends entirely upon his willingness to change his plans now and cut his acreage from IS to 20 per cent. Would it not be better to grow a smaller acreage at a profit than to go through with the present menacing ever-productlon yon are contemplating and suffer severe financial losses T We have investigated this sit uation from every possible angle and feel that we cannot impress you too strongly with its serious ness. It is essential that we have the co-operation of every onion grower throughout the United States. 1927 .1928 1929 1980 6,170 6.620 6,820 6,409 4.300 1,740 7,000 7,500 1,900 1,000 1,100 1,200 470 740 770 750 8.100 8,510 8,400 8,400 1.470 1,280 1.420 1,700 4.550 3,500 2,730 2,800 , 8,200 4.520 5.000 5.500 2.180 1,740 2,160 2,400 2.530 5,830 7,810 7.800 7.000 4,550 8,440 8,500 1,200 950 1,040 1,200 180 150 140 150 900 1,000 1.100 1,100 1,600 1.100 1,120 1,100 SCO 710 820 800 61.810 46,960 64,870 .64,500 North Howell Has 20-7 Win Parkersville NORTH HOWELL, April 8 The boys from the grade school played the Parkersville ball team Tuesday afternoon.
